“”But some are terrorists disguised as fishermen, he said.
We must be aware that every so often there are Hamas operatives, enemies, who are here, disguised as fishermen.””
They dress up as women also. They hide behind skirts. They have no honor and will rot in hell, with 72 Virginians to make their eternity as hellacious as possible.
IDF has a simple solution, counter measure with swarming armed drones.
Somebody needs to make the largest fishing net in the world .. a couple hundred miles long... and stretch it parallel to shore about 1 mile out and see what they catch.
The USN has been doing a lot of research as to the best methods of stopping a swarm attack. And as is typical, they are very tight lipped about it. However, known area weapons could already reduce such a fast attack boat “armada” to flotsam.
For example, a propane bomb. Typically helicopter dropped, when deployed, it spins while spraying out a large cloud of propane, which it then ignites. Used on land, this causes a jump in atmospheric pressure from 1 atmosphere, to about 4 or 5 atmospheres in less than a second over an about mile square area. With very lethal consequences for those within its range.
Since water does not compress, over water it would be much worse.
An example of this is the CBU-72.

“When a smuggling attempt is intercepted, the navy makes every effort to avoid harming the smugglers, out of an understanding that they are often civilians exploited by Hamas, the source said.”
This is a mistake. The smugglers need to fear Israel more than they fear Hamas.
